Site Manager configurations with Optical Network Manager AP and OMEA

Network Element context-sensitive launch of Site Manager is supported from
both the Optical Network Manager Applications Platform (AP) graphical
network browser and from the OMEA navigation tree.
To enable launch from the Optical Network Manager Applications Platform

(AP), Site Manager needs to be installed on the AP workstation. The number
of Site Manager sessions that you can launch simultaneously from Optical
Network Manager AP when Site Manager is co-resident with Optical Network
Manager AP is limited to 10.
To enable launch from OMEA, if OMEA has been opened through Optical
Network Manager AP or SUN workstation, Site Mananger needs to be
installed on the AP or SUN workstation and it's launch point needs to be
configured in the Administration GUI on OMEA. To launch from OMEA if
OMEA has been opened from a PC, SiteManager must be installed on the PC
in the default location. Optical Network Manager AP Release 9.2.1 or higher
and OMEA Release 2.2 or higher is the minimum baseline required. Some
operations/configurations will need to be executed on the Optical Network
Manager AP workstation.
Optical Network Manager AP workstations must meet the minimum

requirements to support Optical Network Manager AP Release 9.2.1 or
higher. For more information on supported Optical Network Manager AP
workstations, see the Optical Network Manager Applications Platform
Planning Guide, 450-3101-601. Some operations/configurations may need to
be executed on the OMEA workstation if Site Manager launch from OMEA is
required.
For more information on supported OMEA workstations and configuration

rules, see the OMEA Planning Guide, 450-3121-601.
Consolidated craft installation

Each product that supports Consolidated Craft retains its own software which
can be installed and launched in a standalone or a consolidated mode. A
consolidated Craft is created by installing software together in the same
directory.
When installed in a consolidated craft mode, the Site Manager navigator acts
as a common launch pad for the Craft interfaces for the different optical
products.
If Site Manager for OME6500 is installed in a consolidated craft mode, the

memory and disk space requirements need to be equal to the sum of the
values provided in the hardware requirements for each product.

Engineering rules
Attention: The number of sessions specified in this section varies
depending on the memory required by the other processes running on the
PC or workstation and the allocated swap space. If you do not follow the
engineering rules, you will impact the performance of all Site Manager
sessions running on a PC or workstation. Unexpected behavior can occur if
the number of sessions is exceeded.
• Maximum number of Site Manager sessions supported on a PC with

minimum or recommended hardware requirements: 1
• Maximum number of Site Manager sessions supported on an HP or Sun
workstation with minimum or recommended hardware requirements: No
software-imposed restriction. When Site Manager is not installed
co-resident with OMEA, the number of sessions is limited by hardware
resources only.
• Maximum number of network elements supported in one Site Manager
session: 16
• Maximum recommended amount of time for a Site Manager session to be
running: 12 hours
• Maximum amount of heap size for a Windows-based Site Manager
session: 512 MB
• Maximum amount of heap size for a UNIX-based Site Manager session:
69 MB
• As a general guideline on the default Site Manager Unix installations (69
MB of heap size), it is recommended to manage 4 NEs or less, when those
NEs have large numbers of entities provisioned on their TransMUX or
Layer 2 cards.
Attention: For UNIX-based deployments, each Site Manager session is

limited to a maximum amount of heap size of 69 MB to avoid affecting the
performance of other applications co-residing on the same platform.
However, if Site Manager is installed as a standalone application on a
dedicated server, then this amount of heap size could be increased. Please
contact Nortel Networks support if the maximum of heap size needs to be
increased.
The default Site Manager deployments on UNIX could encounter an “out of

memory” error when managing multiple NEs simultaneously. Should this
error be encountered, reduce the number of NEs managed by Site Manager.
The error is an indication the heap size for the Java virtual machine Site
Manager is executing within (or has exceeded) its limit. If Site Manager is to

July 2006
be used to manage many NEs, the recommendation is to run it on a separate

server where the Java virtual machine maximum heap size limit can be
increased
Access methods
Site Manager allows you to access a network element by the following
methods:
• Ethernet (recommended)
• direct cable (RS-232)
• modem
Installation options
Optical Network Manager AP launch options (full craft or nodal view)
The installation sequence on HPUX 11 workstations prompt you to select a
Optical Network Manager AP launch option. The launch option controls
network access when Site Manager is launched from the Optical Network
Manager graphical network browser (GNB). The available Optical Network
Manager AP launch options are as follows:
• full craft mode: provides access to all Site Manager applications and full
login functionality to OME6500 network elements
• nodal view mode: provides access to specific Site Manager applications
for the logged in system
Attention: Launch options are supported with Optical Network Manager AP

9.2.1 or later.
To launch Site Manager from the Optical Network Manager GNB, Optical
Network Manager AP must be correctly configured and communications must
be established with the required network element or circuit pack. For
instructions on launching Site Manager from the Optical Network Manager
GNB, refer to Optical Network Manager Applications Platform Interface Login
User Guide, 450-3101-012.
You cannot modify the Optical Network Manager AP launch option for an
installed version of Site Manager. To modify the launch option, you must
reinstall Site Manager using the required launch option.
When you launch Site Manager directly from the UNIX command line using
the SiteManagerCraft script (that is, independently from Optical Network
Manager AP), the full craft version is loaded, regardless of the Optical
Network Manager AP launch option.

July 2006
Full craft mode

Full craft mode provides the following:
• access to all Site Manager applications
• unrestricted login and navigation functionality
Full craft mode provides the same application access and login access
behavior that was available with previous versions of Site Manager.
In this mode, you can log in to any OME6500 network element, provided you
have the required user access privileges and passwords. Login functionality
is not restricted to the system you selected in the Optical Network Manager
GNB to launch Site Manager.
Full craft mode allows you to log in to multiple network processors using login
profiles or the Add Node button (available from the Navigation area of Site
Manager).
Nodal view mode

Nodal view mode provides the following:
• access to Site Manager applications specific to the logged in system
• no access to the Login Manager or Login dialog box
Nodal view mode provides enhanced network security, since access to
network elements is restricted according to the Optical Network Manager
GNB settings provisioned by the system administrator.
For an OM6500 network element, you can perform nodal operations only for
the network element you selected in the Optical Network Manager GNB to
launch Site Manager.

• add, edit, and delete network elements in a selected login profile
• select a login profile to be loaded in the navigation area

July 2006
3-2 Site Manager overview
Nodal Managers
Site Manager opens a nodal manager for each logged in node. Applications
for a node (for example, the Active Alarms and the Equipment & Facility
Provisioning applications) are displayed within the corresponding nodal
manager.
Within a single nodal manager, you can open multiple applications. Each open
application for a node is represented by a tab in the nodal manager.
You can open different applications for each logged in node. Opening an
application only opens the application for the current nodal manager instance.
If you select a different node, the set of applications previously opened for that
node are displayed in the corresponding nodal manager.
Nodal managers can be displayed in the main window or in a window separate

from the main window. For more information, see Main window layout on page
3-3.
The nodal manager displays the node name/identifier (ID) at the top of the
nodal manager (when displayed in the main window) or in the window’s title
bar (when displayed in a window separate from the main window).
Main window
When you log in to Site Manager, the main window opens. See Main window
layout on page 3-3. You can use the main window to:
• connect to or disconnect from the network
• log in to, log out of, and select network elements
• initiate Site Manager applications
The main window contains the following components:

• Navigation tab in the navigation/window management area on page 3-5
• Windows tab in the navigation/window management area on page 3-6
• Nodal manager (application) view area on page 3-7
• Alarm banner on page 3-8
• Menu bar on page 3-8
• Connection status area on page 3-9
• Main window status area on page 3-10
In Figure 3-1 on page 3-3, the nodal manager is displayed in the nodal
manager (application) view area. For supported products, the nodal manager
can be undocked from the main window and displayed in a separate window,
as shown in Figure 3-2.

manager’s menu bar. In this case, the main window menu bar does not display
these node-specific menu items.

July 2006
Navigation tab in the navigation/window management area

The Navigation tab displays login profiles and nodes in a tree structure.
From the Navigation tab, you can:

• view a login profile (you cannot view multiple login profiles in the
Navigation tab at the same time)
• expand or collapse displayed nodes using the “+” or “-” icons
• select one or more nodes (when you select a node, its name/identifier (ID)
is highlighted)
• add nodes using the “Add Node” button
• log in to a node (when you log in to a node, a black outline appears around
its name/ID)
• view alarm notification, including displaying a tooltip for each node
The Add Node button is not displayed when you start Site Manager in nodal
view mode.
For information about the Navigation tab details for specific supported
products, refer to the documentation for that product.
Alarm notification in the Navigation tab

The Navigation tab displays the number of alarms raised against individual
logged in nodes, as follows:
• The number of alarms of the highest severity for a node is displayed to the
left of the node name/ID. Color highlighting indicates when an alarm is
raised or cleared.
• A tooltip is available for each node. The tooltip lists the number of active
alarms active by severity. To view the tooltip, place the cursor over the
node name/ID.
To view the alarm notification for a node, you must log in to the node.
See Alarm indicators on page 3-10 for a description of the labels, colors, and
symbols used to indicate alarms in the Navigation tab.
The Navigation tab displays the network elements included in the

corresponding login profile.
A network element is represented in the Navigation tab by its name/ID. You

must log in to each network element and select it before you can view or edit
the network element details.
Selecting a network element from the Navigation tab enables the associated
menus and commands.

July 2006
Windows tab in the navigation/window management area

Site Manager provides centralized window management using the Windows
tab, which facilitates concurrent management of multiple nodes. The Windows
tab displays the status of the open nodal managers, applications (for example,
Shelf Level View), and tools (for example, TL1 Command Builder). See Figure
3-3.
Figure 3-3
Site Manager Windows tab
EX1663t.tif
You can use the Windows tab to manage multiple nodal manager instances
and applications as follows:
• select the application to display from the list of open applications for a
node. Each application is represented as a tab in the nodal manager.
• open individual applications for a nodal manager in separate windows (for
supported applications only)
• open multiple nodal manager instances in separate windows outside the
nodal manager view area by undocking the nodal manager from the Site
Manager main window

July 2006
Icons in the tree structure provide visual indications of the nodal manager,
application, and tool status as follows:
• a square with a solid border for a node indicates that the nodal manager
is displayed in the nodal manager view area (within the main window)
• a square with a solid border for an application indicates that the application
is displayed in the nodal manager, not in a window separate from the nodal
manager
• a square with a solid border and a solid blue top for a nodal manager
indicates that the corresponding nodal manager is displayed in a separate
window (undocked from the main window)
• a square with a solid border and a solid blue top for an application
indicates that the corresponding application is displayed in a separate
window (undocked from the nodal manager)
• a square with a dotted border indicates that the corresponding nodal
manager or application is open but not currently displayed in the nodal
manager view area
• a square with a solid border and a solid blue top indicates that the
corresponding tool is open
Please note that:

• tools are always displayed in windows separate from the main window
• the alarm banner appears in the Windows tab only when it is undocked
from the main window
• when the node is logged in but the corresponding nodal manager is
closed, no entry appears in the Windows tab for that node
You can manage nodal manager instances and applications by right-clicking

in the node to bring up context-sensitive menus.
Nodal manager (application) view area

The nodal manager (application) view area can display a single nodal
manager instance (that is, applications for a single node) at a time. You can
select the nodal manager instance to be displayed from the Navigation or
Windows tab. For information on nodal managers, see Nodal Managers on
page 3-2.
When using the nodal manager (application) view area to display nodal
managers, the selected nodal manager instance is displayed, and the menu
items for the displayed nodal manager appear in the main window menu bar.
All other open nodal managers and their menu items are hidden.

July 2006
Nodal manager status area

A drop-down message box at the bottom of the nodal manager view area
displays status messages for the nodal manager instance.
Alarm banner
The alarm banner displays the total number of active alarms, by severity,
raised against all logged in nodes. You must log in to at least one node to
activate the alarm banner.
The alarm banner can be displayed in the navigation/window management

area or in a window separate from the main window.
If you started Site Manager in nodal view mode, the alarm banner cannot be
displayed in a window separate from the main window.
Color highlighting indicates when an alarm is raised or cleared. The alarm

banner includes a Clear highlighting button to reset the color highlights for all
logged in nodes.
If Site Manager cannot communicate with a node, the right side of the alarm
banner displays a question mark (?).
See Alarm indicators on page 3-10 for a description of the labels, colors, and
symbols used to indicate alarms in the Alarm banner.
Menu bar
The menu bar appears at the top of the Site Manager main window. The
menus displayed depend on whether a nodal manager instance is displayed
in the nodal manager (application) view area.
The menu bar always includes the following drop-down menus:

• File
• Edit
• Tools
• Window
• Help
When a nodal manager instance is displayed in the nodal manager

(application) view area, then the menu items for the corresponding node also
appear in the main window menu bar.

July 2006
The availability and contents of the drop-down menus for a nodal manager
depend on the node type. Some applications are restricted by the security
level of the user ID you use to log in to Site Manager. Menu items that are not
available are grayed out. For information on the applications for a node, refer
to the product documentation or online help.
Attention: As Site Manager for OME6500 R3.0 is compatible with previous

releases of Site Manager for OME6500 and in order to get more information
on the applications available, it is recommended to refer to the specific
release of the Site Manager Planning and Installation Guide that
corresponds to the type of network element you are connected to.
When all nodal manager instances are hidden, the menu items specific to the
nodes are also hidden. When nodal manager instances are undocked from
the main window, the menu items specific to the nodes appear in the
corresponding nodal manager’s menu bar. In this case, the main window
menu bar does not display these node-specific menu items.
Keyboard shortcuts
You can use the keyboard to access the menus and associated menu items.
The following types of keyboard shortcuts are available: key combinations and
shortcut keys.
The key combination for accessing a menu item, if applicable, is indicated on

the right side of the menu item. For example, to access the Shelf Level View
application using the key combination, press Ctrl+Shift+S.
The shortcut key for accessing a menu or menu item is indicated by the
underlined letter in the menu or menu item name. For example, to access the
Shelf Level View application using shortcut keys, first press the Alt key to
activate the menu, then press, ‘c’ to access the Configuration menu, and
finally press ‘s’ to open the Shelf Level View application.
Depending on the preferences settings for your operating system, shortcut

keys (the underlined characters in menus), might not be displayed by default.
You might have to press a specific key, such as the Alt key, to display the
shortcut keys. For more information on setting these preferences, refer to the
documentation for your operating system.
Connection status area

The connection status area, located below the navigation/window

• network connection to a network element:
Connected to: <IP address>, <port>

July 2006
• direct connection with a serial cable to a network element:

Connected to: <port_name>
• modem connection to a network element:
Connected to: <telephone#>
Main window status area

The main window status area, located below the Connection status area,
displays status messages for Site Manager. The status field is a drop-down
message box that displays the most recent status messages at the top. The
maximum number of displayed status messages depends on the Site
Manager preferences (see Site Manager preferences on page 3-11).
Alarm indicators
Alarm notification can be displayed for individual logged in nodes or for all
logged in nodes. Alarm notification for individual nodes is displayed in the
Navigation tab in the navigation/window management area (see Alarm
notification in the Navigation tab on page 3-5). Alarm notification for all nodes
is displayed in the alarm banner (see Alarm banner on page 3-8).
The alarm counts represent the new, active, and acknowledged alarms. The
alarm counts update as alarms are raised or cleared.
Alarm labels, color highlighting, and symbols are used as indicators for alarm
notification.

Troubleshooting 5-
This chapter provides solutions to situations you may encounter when using
Site Manager for OME6500 Rel 3.0.
Possible issues
The followings are known possible issues you may experience. For each
issue, a work around is provided.
Keyboard navigation
The keyboard stops responding if the ALT-key is pressed while changing
between applications in Site Manager.
Impact
You are restricted to use the mouse.
Work around
Recover keyboard navigation by minimizing and restoring the window.
Font display on PC
User interface text appears to be double-spaced, cropped, and shifted up.
Impact
The text becomes unreadable.
Workaround
Perform the following actions:
a. Close all Site Manager for OME R3.0 sessions.
b. Using Windows Explorer, locate the directory in which Site Manager for
OME R2.5 is intalled (install dir).
The default directory is C:\Program Files\Site Manager\
c. Locate the following file in the installation directory: <install
dir>/sm_other_font.properties
d. Copy the sm_other_font.properties file to the following location: <install
dir>/jre<x.y.z_ab>/lib/, where <x.y.z_ab> represents the version of the
installed JRE

July 2006
5-2 Troubleshooting
e. Rename the file in step d to “fontconfig.<OS>.properties”, where OS = XP

if the PC is running Windows XP, 2000 if the PC is running Windows
2000, NT if the PC is running Windows NT.
Text overwriting
Text appears to overwrite itself while retrieving events when using an Exceed
session to access Preside and then reach through to Site Manager.
Impact
Event logs are temporarily unreadable.
Workaround
Allow the system time to fully import all of the information and settle.
Site Manager launched from Preside AP accesses wrong NE if Login

Dialog box is cancelled
When launching Site Manager from Preside Applications Platform (AP), you
are presented with a Login dialog box prompting for your user name and
password only. If you cancel that login dialog and bring up a full login dialog
from the File pull-down menu, you will, in some cases login to a network
element other than the one specified. Site Manager properly displays the NE
name of the network element that you are actually logged in to.
Impact
Confusion around what network element you are connected to.
Workaround
Log out of that network element and either double-click or right-click on the
desired network element in Preside AP to login again.

July 2006
Troubleshooting 5-3
DCC communications hit may cause Site Manager to lose association

with subtending node
Site Manager running on Windows may lose association to a subtending node
if a hit on DCC communications occur. This can be, as an example, a 1+1
protection switch where DCC is carried across the facility being switched
Impact
User session to the subtending node is dropped and user will be required to
log in again.
Workaround
There is no workaround to this situation. The user must login back in to the
subtending node.
Uninstaller not working properly in a consolidated mode with OME6500

R3.0 installed
This situation occurs under one of the following conditions:
• In a consolidated mode where OME6500 R3.0 is installed first and an
older Site Manager load (HDX 3.2/3.3, SM 7.1/7.2) is installed afterwards
and there is no JRE installed on the user’s system.
• In a consolidated mode where OME6500 R3.0 is installed first and an
older Site Manager load is installed afterwards and there is a pre 1.4 JRE
installed on the user’s system. See Table 5-1 for information on JRE
versions supported.
Impact of first condition
Under the first condition, the user can uninstall OME6500 R3.0 but cannot
re-install a new OME load.
Workaround
Modify the SiteManager.properties file according to the following instructions:
a. from the installation directory, open the SiteManager.properties using
Notepad
b. remove all four lines that refer to OME: OME_internalLabel,
OME_externalLabel, OME_name=OME 6500 Site Manager 3.0,
OME_relDesc=OME 6500 R3.0
c. save the SiteManager.properties file
d. re-install the OME software in the same directory
Impact of second condition

Under the second condition, the uninstaller will hang when the user attempts
to uninstall OME6500 R3.0

July 2006

File names on CD-ROM all in uppercase

When installing Site Manager on UNIX platforms, it is possible to see file
names on the CD-ROM all in uppercase with a semi colon ";" attached at the
end of the filename. If this occurs, the CD should be unmounted first (umount
/cdrom), and then should be mounted using PFS, with the following
procedure:
a. Ensure that the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf contains:

LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
b. Go to /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf then run:
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
c. Make sure the directory containing the PFS utilities (/usr/sbin) is in your
PATH
d. Edit (or create) the /etc/pfs_fstab file to contain a line like this:
<device> <mount_dir> pfs-rrip xlat=rrip 0 0
Where:
<device> is the path to your CD-ROM reader (e.g. /dev/dsk/c1t2d0)
<mount_dir> is the path to an *existing* directory where the CD-ROM
will be mounted (e.g. /rr_cdrom)
e. Run the following commands:
# nohup pfs_mountd &
# nohup pfsd 4 &

July 2006
5-6 Troubleshooting
f. Mount the drive with the command:

pfs_mount <device> | <mount_dir>
Or unmount it with:
pfs_umount <device> | <mount_dir>
Where <device> and <mount_dir> are the same as in b).
The CD-ROM should be now readable with long and mixed-case
filenames.
